The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle
Children's Books2022 · 376 pp · Age 6 - 9

The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle

Robert Stoltenberg / Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg

Turbo Twins Robert and Harald have to move from the big city to the countryside, because their mother gets a whim and needs more space for her thoughts. The house they’re moving to is run down, has an outdoor toilet and the whole area smells like cow dung. The Turbo Twins look forward to starting a new school, but already on their first day it turns out the entire school and everyone in the village is completely obsessed with one single ting: DODGEBALL. In addition to this, the twins end up in the same class as the school bully and dodgeball state champion, Sølvi. Sølvi challenges the twins to create their own dodgeball team and sign up for the big tournament that takes place every year. But who should be on their team? What happened to the new boy in their class who disappeared without a trace after the last tournament? And how in the world do you even play dodgeball? The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle is hysterically funny and heart-warming story about being a good brother, a good friend, and a good person. «One of the most fast-paced and fun books of 2022.»VG, FIVE/SIX STARS «It's obvious that the authors have wished to write an easily read, plot-driven story. The 34 chapters contain few dead points, and the text is tightly composed with the preparations for the Dodgeball Battle as the red thread. The story is full of dialogues in an oral language that flows well, and the end of each chapter contains small cliffhangers that makes me curious as to what will happen next.»PERISKOP

What's It Like To Be A Grown-up?

Anna Fiske

In What’s it Like to Be a Grown-Up? Anna Fiske addresses questions about adult life, big and small. Can grown-ups eat chocolate whenever they feel like it? Can grown-ups stay up all night? Why do grown-ups have to earn money and what kind of jobs can you do when you’re a grown-up? The book is warm-hearted, inclusive and funny, allying children’s fears about becoming adults and taking on new duties and responsibilities. Deep down, maybe grown-ups aren’t so very different from children. This book is a must for anybody who loved How Do You Make a Baby? and How Do You Start School? Smart book for children about being adult “If anyone were to ask me what it’s like to be grown-up, I would be at a loss for words. Anna Fiske, on the other hand, goes to task with full vigor. … she has found her niche, in the interplay of facts and fun, enlightenment and engagement. For these are books where the children can actively participate themselves, with their own creativity and experiences.” NRK "Anna Fiske has written the best children's book of the year." ADRESSEAVISEN “With colorful and bright illustrations, accompanied by small, enlightening comments, we are introduced to a diverse world of grown-ups with humor and playfulness. (…) What’s it like to be a grown-up? is an including and empathetic non-fiction illustrated book.” JURY’S STATEMENT, BRAGE PRIZE NOMINATION FOR BEST CHILDREN’S BOOK (2021)

Handbook for Young Antiracists

Tinashe Williamson

Handbook for young antiracists by Tinashe Willamson put the spotlight on the important topic of racism. Through ten chapters and ten fictional characters Williamson answers questions about what racism really is, why representation is important and what you can do if someone is discriminated against because of the colour of their skin. Racism is a complicated topic for grown-ups to navigate, and many find it hard to talk to their children about it. For what can you say? Where do you begin? This engaging, including and thorough book is written in the form of a diary, with tasks and conversations that the children can easily bring up at home or with their friends or classmates. The goal is to pass on the knowledge to the generation that is growing up now, to give them the feeling that they have the power to change the world. Together we are stronger, and by just acknowledging the problem we can do something about it. This is the perfect book on the topic for children 9 years and up, and it works just as well at home as in a teaching situation. Tinashe Williamson has written a book that is easy to understand and utterly engaging. The book obviously has great potential to start important conversations between people from different generations. DAGBLADET

Around the World in 80 Words

Helene Uri

The Norwegian language contains words from all over the world! Some have travelled only a short distance, crossing the border from Sweden or heading north from Germany. Others have been on much longer journeys, all the way from South America, Africa or Asia. This is a book about the words that have settled in Norway, becoming part of our language. Children will find words they know laid out on beautifully illustrated maps, they’ll go on journeys by land and sea, and they’ll learn that our language makes the world both smaller and richer. A gorgeous, colourful book that you’ll want to keep on display in the children’s room.
